Disneyland 2012

We were so lucky to be able to take our own little spring break (none for us poor BYU students) in late February. Where to? 
DISNEYLAND!
I love love love Disneyland. Like I could possibly live there. Really. Deep love.
And Phil, well he had never been. And we couldn't have that, so off we went

See that clock?  Says 6:45? 
You better believe that it was 6:45 AM. Yup, leap day was a 24 hour day.
Yup, Phil's first day ever in Disneyland began at 6:45 am. And then continued for 11 hours before we tuckered out. 
Awesome!
Our first stop was Indiana Jones. We tried to give Phil the choice but he didn't know what to expect so anything was good for him, so he (really meaning the fam) chose Indy to start us off.

So I've been to D-land lots of times. (not enough!) and I've seen princesses walking around but I've never taken the time to drop in and see them. Specially now that they're in their own new area. Good ole Jocelyn gave us that chance.
Dreams do come true. At Disneyland.

 One of our favorites had to be the Wonderful World of Color show. 
Best show I have ever seen. 
Hands down.
 It took place all over Paradise Pier. 
From this...

To this...

 

The title of the show is written in the water mist...

 We spent our last Cali day at the beach. Phil and I have had 2 winters in a row plus 2 semesters of school so the beach provided much needed therapy.

It was a great trip. One that I wish could happen all over again.
Right now.
But until next time...here's some last photos to remember good ole D-land by.
 Three big kids + one seat + Whinnie the Pooh ride = priceless.

 The clan.
It's tough to be a bug.

 THuuuuuunderrrrrr Mountain!

 Space Mountain. 
Consensus was that we could ride this 198752342598723 + W times and it would never get old. 
Those faces require no further explanation.
Best.

 I think Phil says it all in this photo.
Time well spent.
Magical place.
Happiness.
Dreams really do come true.
